cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Ethereum could hit $8,000 very soon if it begins outperforming Bitcoin. The outlet states that breaking its previous all-time high would snap toward the $6,000-$8,000 range quickly, creating huge profits for anyone with open positions. This strength would only be the beginning, as it pulls the rest of the altcoin market with it.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ETH, measured when this story was written up on 18 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
ETH trades at $2,447.28 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 55.8%, indicating immediate bullish sentiment. However, the 4-hour buy ratio drops to 44.7%, showing that buying pressure is fading over a slightly longer timeframe compared to the 24-hour average of 49.9%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$2,069,378, meaning buyers are currently outweighing sellers in the short term. Conversely, the 4-hour volume delta is negative at -$5,124,084, and the 24-hour cumulative volume delta (CVD) closes at -$4,518,688, indicating net selling pressure over the day. Only 9 of the last 24 hours saw net buying, highlighting a mixed flow environment.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.8% sits at the 16th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.5% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ETH, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the buy ratio averaged 48.2%, with the latest day showing a slight increase of 1.7 points. Trading volume was 0.66x the average, suggesting lower activity than usual. Net buying occurred on only 2 of the 7 days, and the price changed by just +0.4% over 8 days. The total volume delta for the period was -$201,123,899, confirming a broader trend of net outflows. This recent 24-hour period shows higher immediate buy ratios than the weekly average, despite lower volume.
